What did you do in your ALPINA today?

[TonyS]

Very pleased now - I got my B3 back after Kevin Bird replaced the rear dampers and fitted a Quaife ATB LSD

... drove home and immediately noticed I had lost the rear end 'clonk' on severe bumps, and generally smoother.
Also noticed that the left-right ride height is quite similar now - measures less than 3mm difference unladen.
... but not really "tested" the diff yet ! .. that's some fun to come

Out for a rather wet walk with the family, from Wray Castle, time for a quick shot on return to the car.

Great shot Paul! Not sure what is more imposing, the car or the castle.

It's a nice walk round the grounds from Wray Castle and it's a crackin' looking castle and car

[Marc 76]

Looking good Paul!

Virtually a full fluid change of engine, gearbox and brakes but not diff - although we did check the level!

Also replaced the fuel filter (last changed 2012) following an interesting week recently when power dropped off intermittently and which we eventually diagnosed as dirty fuel.

Also dealt with a couple of weepy seals, cleaned the engine bay of oily residue, tidied up some loose cable covers and checked the alternator output for no other reason than it was something I haven't done before!

Finally, met up with the buyer of my "old" winter set and concluded the transaction.

All in all a productive morning over at CPC with my main man, Boris

Picked up the D5 from BMR Performance after having the timing chain/guides replaced. I didn't have known 'issues' with the chain etc. was more for peace of mind given that the car is now at 126k miles.
First time at BMR, out of 3 Indys they were the only ones that responded to my enquiry, and supplied a fully itemised quote for every item that would be required to carryout the work.

I went to goodwood this morning as it was for the 90s shizzle, i feel like i am now getting older as it was all cars that were on the roads still when i passed my test






the boost bus/shed made the pistonheads cut on the gram, famous ha! I had a few curious questions on it

[ScooBeeFive]

Looks cool Simon!

I swapped onto my WInters this weekend - decided it was that time of year....

[Abanko]

MOT passed last week, washed at weekend. 20 years old this year and still looks good compared to one 15 years younger.

They both look fantastic - what a great combo.

Are you running full boost now Si, or are there still things to sort out?

[simon13]

not quite* Bob, 1.7 bar i'm showing (max is 1. but the boost control system is now operating correctly i think. I need to update thread really. It should be safe now fuelling wise. Getting there!

[Bob]

That’s still impressive, must shift the old bus along nicely
